Abstract

Women have historically been taking care of their families and have given major contributions to the livelihood securities of their households. It is observed that fisherwomen have been instrumental in giving livelihood security to their families and themselves. In the study, the factors contributing towards livelihood security are analysed. This study is conducted among fisherwomen of the two taluks in the state of Karnataka, in India. The explorations of the factors are done with the aid of factor analysis. The study finds that majority of fisherwomen were content with their role in providing food, clothing, shelter and education to their family members. However, the facets wherein they were not happy are on saving and the low involvement of the men of the household to support them economically. In the study, five factors were explored that contribute towards livelihood security among the respondents.
